Questions to ask every vendor
These are the questions that buyers ask when they compare allocation systems, with Ceviche's answers.
The invoice line. Every line has its own methodology, so one invoice can split across the funds, the GP, the SPVs, and the management company in one pass.
Yes. Ceviche reads LEDES files and PDF invoices and allocates each timekeeper line separately. A partner's diligence hours and an associate's formation hours can follow different methodologies on the same invoice.
At allocation time. Ceviche sets guardrails and applies rules according to your LPA, including expense caps, exclusions, and eligibility checks. Your team approves each rule once, and Ceviche keeps a version of every rule with a full audit trail. If no rule matches an expense, the expense goes to your controller or CFO for review.
Your accounting team, in the app. Your team does not need a ticket or a statement of work.
Your team makes simple rule changes itself, and complex ones come back from our team within 48 hours.
It connects to them. Ceviche connects directly to Ramp, Bill.com, Brex, Expensify, and SAP Concur. It reads each invoice and card transaction and posts the allocation entries to your GL. Your payment process stays the same.
Your team, in your workflow. There is no operations team between you and your data.
Yes. Every posted entry links back to its source invoice line and the methodology that produced it. Ceviche also keeps a snapshot of the rule from allocation time.
Invoice-to-entry lineage. For any entry, the auditor can open the source line, the split math with its basis numbers, and the approval. The backup PDFs open with one click.
Core go-live takes 2 to 4 weeks. It covers your entities, your methodologies, your rules, and import and export. The subscription includes onboarding. We scope new GL connections and historical data separately.
Yes. You can review and adjust any allocation before it posts, and you do not need a ticket. After posting, each correction posts as a new entry with full lineage. The history is never edited.
No. AI reads each invoice and drafts its header fields and line items. Every split comes from a deterministic rule that your team configured and approved, or from an allocation that your controller or CFO made. Ceviche can suggest a split from your past allocations and custom fields, but it never decides one. Every number that posts traces back to a human approval. A rule runs the same way every time, so an auditor reviews the rule once, not hundreds of individual decisions.
No. Your data is never used to train AI models.
Yes, at no charge. The sandbox runs for 2 weeks on your own data, after an NDA and a data request. It ends with a review call with your team.
Nothing breaks. Your rules are in Ceviche, not in your card or AP tool. A new provider needs only a new connection, not a new implementation.
